[XT1097 AT&T] Last Time Flashing Failed Bootloop

Well.. I may have messed up beyond belief.
I accidentally ordered the AT&T variant instead of going with XT1095, and instead of returning it, I figured I'd unlock it and convert.
To my error, I tried CF-Auto-Root-victara-victararetbr-xt1097 with a locked bootloader and I was put into a bootloop with the error "Fastboot Reason: Last time flashing failed"
Am I screwed? Are there ways to fix this new $325 brick?
I just remembered, I have my old XT1095 IMEI and bootloader code. Is there anyway to flash my XT1097 with those numbers so my phone can pretend to be my old 'Pure' edition and be able to unlocked?

Have you check unlocking the bootloader from motorola site? I heared xt1097 is also unlocking now via motorola website, you can also try these lines hope it will help you reboot in fastboot first then type these:
Fastboot reboot-bootloader
Fastboot oem fb_mode_set
Fastboot erase cache
Fastboot oem fb_mode_clear
Fastboot reboot
Hope you will get the device back running.. If these didnt help kindly get back here.. And dont try any imei tweak etc you will hard brick that

I've tried what you posted to no avail.
I've been trying to download VICTARA_ATT_XT1097_5.1_LPE23.32-21.9_cid1_CFC.xml.zip or VICTARA_ATT_XT1097_5.1_LPE23.32-21.2_cid1_CFC.xml.zip from FileFactory, but because i'm using the "Slow Speed" download(50Kb/s), it keeps failing, so I haven't even been able to try flashing the official ATT Victara firmware.
I'm almost positive it's because the partition was flashed over... so I'm hoping if I can get one of these files downloaded, I can try flashing the original gpt.bin and it boot fine..
Any other ideas would be extremely helpful.
If this helps, this is all the info from my bootloader

you need full flash, not just gpt.bin.. if you did flashing this gpt only, you will have dead bricked device.. check the pvt msg i gave you fast download link there.. download rsd lite, unzip that and flash the full stock rom.. good luck!

Is your bootloader locked? It must be unlocked to flash firmware from other models as well as to downgrade.

Yeah, it's locked. I was just asking in hope that someone had a work around.
I guess I'll try to ship it back to Motorola(since it's within 14 days) and pretend I never even turned it on and ask for the PURE as a replacement.

Yeah, there is nothing you can do. Never flash anything with a locked bootloader, it's a recipe for disaster.

Unlock the bootloader on the Motorola website, take the steps, and once unlocked when you flash the factory firmware you will be installed

Hmm, can you remember what firmware you had? Have you tried booting to recovery and tried a cache wipe or factory reset?
If your bootloader is still locked and you did not request an unlock key from Motorola, it might be worth considering visiting a service centre and getting your device looked at. You've still got the warranty, hopefully - might as well use it...

You don't need to enter the system. Hold Volume Down and the power button then follow the steps to flash your stock firmware. You need fastboot.exe on your pc. Plug in a USB cable to the pc and phone then flash the stock firmware. Make sure when you power on the device using power + Vol Down to unlock your bootloader. The option you refer to in system does nothing on its own.
Also tell us how you ended up in this situation. I'm guessing you did something to cause the problem?

I believe you need the bootloader unlocked in order to flash anything. I have a 1926-7 and I'm stuck in bootloader, since I can't access the operating system to allow Developer Options, I can't unlock bootloader, and my os is corrupt.
What can I do? Thanks

You should be able to flash official Moto firmware whether your bootloader is unlocked or not.
Look here:
https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/evert/official/
Download the correct firmware for your device and flash.

Thanks for your reply. I've tried many firmwares already, no luck. Here's the thing:
I'm stuck in Fastboot, it says "flashing_locked" , so I'm not allowed to flash. If you try the command "flashing unlock" it sends you to enable USB debugging and OEM unluck but I DO NOT have access to the operating system anymore.
I hope there's something I can do. Very costly paperweight I have now haha :crying:

help!
I keep trying things with no luck, it seems like I fogot my car keys inside, no spare keys, and the car is bulletproof

I've tried the method downloading the Qualcomm drivers, putting the PC in test mode, etc. but I only get the "<Waiting for device>" and nothing else happens.
Hope you can shed some light here. Thanks

After 10 Hours... I need help, please: "Invalid zip file format! error installing zip
Guys and gals - I just want to say in advance, thank you so much for your time and help with this, I really tried hard (over 10 hours) of referencing old xda forums and youtube videos, with nothing working so far.
Ok here it goes:
So I bought for a good price the Moto g5s Plus from ali express. Everything came fine, except one thing... it had a Chinese variant baseband flashed on the phone, which means everything worked normal except I couldn't update past 7.1.1
Baseband: M8937_37.13.03.53R Montana_Chinadsds_cust
The typical phones update to 8.1 oreo, so I want to jump on that wagon. It had been about 10 years since I've flashed or unlocked anything so I was happy to find through youtube and XDA that the process was easier. But the phone came with unlocked boot.
I put TWRP on there pretty easily and everything looked like it was going to be cake.
I was getting different errors after trying different tactics of flashing - everything from error 7, to error 1, to all kinds of errors that I've overcome... but when I'd solve one error, i'd get a different error...
I spent hours of diving through youtube / xda...
Eventually it led me to that I kept getting "cant unmount" error when trying to flash roms. I realized that tha phone isn't friendly to flashing because of something called "treble" or "trebling" - one of the developers here, liquidengineer, released a version of twrp to deal with it... but it didn't work for me.
To keep it short, after like 10 hours and nothing working... I then decided to do what was in this video:
Oreo 8.1 Stock ROM on Moto G5s Plus(English):
(notice url has a space between "youtube" and ".com")
youtube .com/watch?v=-f67lVbDqkc&t=3s
The video was nice because it was step by step. I chose to do it last because it involved using a custom script.
I followed all of the steps, the script ran. What I realized after is that this script only works if original stock roms, but I had this chinese custom rom/baseband.
In short, the script wiped everything... my partitions, files, etc...
TWRP Recovery still worked so I changed the format of the partitions to E2, then E4, that allowed me to use the phone as a drive and add the roms.
when I try to install any rom in TWRP 3.1.1-1... I now just get:
data successfully decrypted, new block device:
'/dev/block/dm-0'
Updating Partition Details....
...done
Successfully decrypted with default password.
Updating partition details...

Invalid zip file format!
Error installign zip file '/sdcard/arrow-v10.0-sanders-OFFICIAL-20200329-VANILLA.zip'
Updating partition details...
...done.
It doesn't matter which rom i try to install.
Factory recovery doesn't work.
I also get a Motorola error that my phone has been unlocked and cant be trusted (bad ID).
I kept this post as short as I could, and didn't include all of the different attempts I tried.... but I am now completely lost as to what to do. Please, please help! I'll paypal someone $10 for the winning answer.

If you really have the g5s plus aka sanders, and fastboot says Montana - someone flashed a g5s aka Montana firmware, which is never a good idea.
Try flashing Sanders firmware. If that doesn't work, enjoy the paperweight

yes that did look odd to me. I'm not so familiar with flashing firmware, do you have any good guidance with that?

Hey shadow, i feel like an idiot. It's been 10 years since I've done any of this stuff and I'm realizing there are 2 things going on...
first - even though I bought a g5s Plus (also called sanders), that's not what I got. I unknowingly got a g5s (without the plus). Still, it should have installed probably anyway... regardless of whether it's a plus or not. So not sure why I get the errors - will that happen if the phone distro's don't match?
Finally, the moto g5s's are not all the same, because they each carry their own country. And in my case, I have the xt1799-2 - which is the chinese ZUI variant (customized lenovo version), which makes it more complex.
One guy sent me this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g5s/how-to/guide-moto-g5sxt179x-stock-rom-t3839003/amp/
however... the problem is because he uses the Chinese language firmware, it still seems he's stuck in 7.1.1 which won't even allow me to use custom roms because most of them rely on the 8.1 oreo firmware. Do you guys see holes in his approach?
Although to answer your question, do you want me just to run that function?

The getvar all give a lot of info about what is going on with the device.
So yes please.

Thanks so much in advance:
Just one note - even though it says I have a rom, i cant boot into it because as mentioned, i ran a script for g5s+ and it more or less corrupted it.

So, the correct Firmware for your device is Montana/RetCN/XT1799-2
https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/montana_retcn/official/RETCN/
which looks like has only been updated to 7.1.1 blur 26.68-117
You could try Retail software channel
https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/montana/official/RETAIL/
But I can't tell which model that is for...
RetEU is XT1793/XT1794
RetGB is XT1794
Doesn't look like there is a RetUS which is preferred if you live in the USA.
and I'm not seeing if there are any hardware differences between them.
I guess I would flash RetCN just to get it back to stock and working again.
If that goes good, try the Retail.
I've posted some general flashing instructions in

Quick question - it seems that the Russians have a lot more support and roms for xt1799-2, because probably they buy from aliexpress. What I don't get is if you take this thread, https://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=886009&st=260#entry76570414 (translate with google translate chrome extension)
people are installing custom ROM For XT1799-2
crDroid v4.7.2 x64 https://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=886009&view=findpost&p=89050911
crDroid v5.11 x64 https://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=886009&view=findpost&p=92946311
Do they first install the stock 7.1.1 firmware? and then the ROM, even though 4.7.2 is Android 8.1, and crDroid 5.11 is Android 9.0?
Does the firmware version need to match the ROM version?
Also, if i want to avoid risking to mess up the bootloader, can i just leave out the following:
fastboot of flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot of flash the bootloader bootloader.img

I believe they are on stock 7.1.1, and installing the updated custom rom.
Likely there is not much of 7.1.1 left other than the bootloader.

Bootloader Unlock Code XT1965-T (Not the T-Mobile version)

I'm trying to unlock the bootloader on my G7 Plus, however when I put the bootloader code into Motorola's website it tells me the device isn't compatible. I've talked to support 2 times now, once online and once over the phone, and they both have informed me that I have the Motorola G7 Plus, not the T-Mobile variant, and that the device can be unlocked. But when I put the code in on the website it just spins for a few minutes then says the device isn't supported.
I've run the getvar command and it says:

or try later it often just doesn't work

I've tried on both a Linux and Windows laptop as well as my phone, on WiFi and on Data, all over a span of 7 hours, and none of them have worked. I'm beginning to think I might not be able to actually unlock the device.
When I look up the model number it tells me it's the T-Mobile one that isn't unlockable, but then I have a chat from Motorola telling me it's an official one. I might look for a different model of this device and see if it changes my outcome

Don't know why, your cid # should be available for unlock.

Like I said site is finicky, and instead of it saying I'm sorry there's an error, it just says
"Your device does not qualify for bootloader unlocking."

He got it unlocked, moto site was just not working correctly, and had to try several times.

Expert here, please help. I have moto g7 plus i got from Motorola directly as replacement variant (XT1965-T) but its going on boot loop. I tried to use Moto recover tool but it does read phone to do rom install. I tried manual also still not working. I tried to do install myself rom by using info and rom from another forum (https://motostockrom.com/motorola-moto-g7-plus-xt1965-t) but it fails to write using flasfile.bat. even though it says usb connected. in recovery mode it also shows OEM locked. is that's the reason ? I just want this phone to work with standard rom of it suppose to work as i got it unlocked version. Please help.

Bootloader unlock - Drivers Problem (SOLVED)

When I run fastboot oem get_unlock_data, nothing appears on the screen. Typing fastboot getvar all prints this:
(bootloader) kernel: uefi
(bootloader) version-bootloader: MBM-3.0-nash_retail-43c7c77-190920

(bootloader) cid: 0x0032
(bootloader) channelid: 0x40
(bootloader) uid: 7CD622B2
The cid would be cid: 0x0000 to be unlockable?

I run fastboot getvar ro.carrier and it's ro.carrier: reteu.
Any help or advice?

Any relation with this?
'' For devices that support dm-verity, use ro.boot.verifiedbootstate to set the value of ro.boot.flash.locked to 0; this unlocks the bootloader if the verified boot state is orange ''
I checked through adb and my phone is set to '' 1'' and ''green''.
All the others settings are appropriate for unlocking.

Finally, I used a Macbook and I fixed it. The problem probably happened by the drivers of ADB.
